EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and evocative print captures a significant moment in history - the attack of the Ethiopian tribe of Issa on the Assaimara tribe in French Somaliland in 1935. The intensity and brutality of this historical event is palpable in the image, as members of the Issa tribe are seen engaging in fierce combat with their adversaries.
The clash between these two tribes serves as a reminder of the complex and often violent interactions that have characterized African history. It also sheds light on the struggles for power, resources, and territory that have shaped relationships between different ethnic groups on the continent.
The black-and-white composition adds to the sense of drama and tension depicted in this photograph, highlighting both the physicality of warfare and its emotional toll on those involved. The expressions on the faces of the fighters convey a mix of determination, fear, and aggression - reflecting a range of emotions experienced during times of conflict.
Overall, this print from Mary Evans Picture Library offers viewers a glimpse into a specific moment in time when tribal rivalries boiled over into open violence. It serves as a poignant reminder of Africa's rich but tumultuous history, where events like these have left lasting impacts on communities and cultures across the continent.
